Street auditor: Mainly in the UK is someone who films in public spaces, such as police stations and refugee hotels, often to test how authorities and staff respond. In the UK, some street auditors make a living from this activity, earning revenue on platforms like YouTube. They use cameras, drones, and sometimes have bodyguards. They may linger around police stations or refugee hotels, sometimes being asked to leave but refusing, leading to trespassing and provocations. They often believe they are experts in UK law and try to outsmart the police by citing legal statutes, sometimes giving the impression that they have a law degree or extensive legal knowledge. This behavior can cause tensions, lead to confrontations, and put additional strain on police resources, especially when officers are already overloaded. It can also be a form of new entertainment and potentially cause prejudice against both the police and refugees who are simply trying to go about their lives. Moreover, sometimes this provocation can lead to violent outbursts, making it dangerous for themselves, the public, and the police. Additionally, some of these clips can go viral, amplifying their impact.
